what you need to do is declare the bitmap as an array of characters, *not* an
array of shorts. You then place the data in in little-endian order and can
use XCreateBitmapFromData just fine. This is the format 'bitmap' puts out. If
your bitmap is in the standard X10 format, you can use the program 'bm-convert'
found in the 'utils' directory of the distribution to convert to the X11
normal form.
